"How does the sovereignty of God relate to our daily lives? We understand from Scripture that God is sovereign, that He rules and reigns over all things for His glory and the good of His people." But as soon as prayer and God's sovereignty are set side by side, we run into difficult theological questions. After all, if God is sovereign over all things, why should we even bother praying?
